I wasn't expecting to hear phenomenal food choices from the 100(+) student athletes that I asked this question to, but the answers that I received were pretty disappointing.....or should i say alarming......or should i say disheartening. What was the question you ask? It was simple:What did you eat for breakfast today?Answers (listed in order of the most common response from top to bottom):Lucky charmscocoa puffsfrosted flakespop tartsbagel and cream cheeseorange juice with bananaNothinggatorademcDonaldspeanut butter toastscrambled eggsoatmeal and eggswhey protein shakethere are a couple things to point out. The vast majority of the answers were from answers colored Red. I'd say 95% of them. In a day where there is more information about eating healthy and the importance of eating breakfast, it quickly became apparent to me that the message is not being communicated from the parents in an effective manner whatsoever; on the other hand, it is pretty darn apparent that the adults are likely practicing similar habits as their kids. eating habits are a learned behavior, which is why we are seeing the increases in childhood obesity and diabetes. The obesity epidemic of the adult population is littering our youth. this has to stop. Be honest, what type of fuel are you puting into your body for breakfast?
